Kentucky State University alumna launched app to highlight Black businesses


A Kentucky State University alumna recently launched an app designed to highlight Black businesses across the country. 

Mariah Bailey created Black American Market (B.A.M.) and said it is available on all platforms. 

“I created an app designed to host Black businesses as a consumer convenient resource,” Bailey said in an email, “but we are a company geared toward mainstreaming Black businesses.” 

Bailey said she is receiving requests from app users for more businesses. 

“If you have a Black-owned business or service, want to support Black-owned businesses and services, and/or know of other businesses and services that may benefit from partnering with us, please share this information,” Bailey said.

Bailey said potential app users could find more information about the app at https://www.blackamericanmarket.net or follow the app on Instagram at @blackamericanmarket.
